kurti meri cheet di punjabi old song

Manjinder Chohan has posted this awesome video on YouTube. The song "Kurti Meri Cheet Di" (also spelled "Kurti Meri Chheet Di" or "Cheent Di") is a classic, vibrant Punjabi folk song immortalized by the legendary Surinder Kaur. It is a Boliyan style song, typically sung with great energy during women's dance gatherings like Giddha.

Meaning of the Song in Detail

The song is a lively expression of a young woman's vibrant spirit, her playful self-admiration, and her cheeky relationship with her in-laws ($saurey$), especially her husband (dhola) and brother-in-law (devar).

Thematic Breakdown:

1. The Fashionable Introduction (The Attire)

The song opens by establishing the young woman's stylish attire, which immediately sets a tone of pride and flirtation:

"Kurti meri cheet di, Duppatta mera lehriya."

Translation: "My shirt/tunic is made of chintz (a type of printed fabric), and my scarf is made of lehriya (wavy-patterned tie-dye)."

This is a proud declaration of her colorful, contemporary style, signifying her youthful confidence and charm.
